Brunson: "With AA you're more likely to win a small pot and lose a big one."

This hand is a typical example. Before the flop you are slightly better than a 4-1 favorite. You push this flop. It doesn't make any difference if the villain is LAG, TAG, donk or good enough to fold.

Your plan of letting the villain see the flop and assuming he's going to call your push, or you're going to check, he'll bet, and you'll checkraise all-in is seriously flawed.
The flop can kill your action, or the flop can beat you and you'll end up putting it all-in because you fell in love with your AA.

Players that call here with AA, or limp in trying to trap are players that I consider weak.

fwiw this is nice thinking but fairly wrong. Brunson's advice, although quoted widely, is not good. (I'm by no means saying most of his advice is not good! Alot of it is pure gold. That passage, however, should be eradicated)

OP played it well preflop. As to postflop, well, sometimes Im sure he played it well and sometimes he played it terribly wrong.

fwiw, when this guy speaks you should pay attention. there are not many posters qualified to correct Mr. Brunson, but this guy is definitely one of them.
